Realistically, if the employer doesn't have to pay out for healthcare, won't they have funds available to give the employee a higher salary to make up the differences in taxes? Ideally I'd like to see universal healthcare taxed similar to current FICA -- employee pays a share, and the employer pays a share. But since the employer typically covers about 80% of premiums now, it would make sense for them to do the same with the higher taxes.
